codemirror-json-schema

Codemirror extensions that add on @codemirror/lang-json's and codemirror-json5's grammars to add JSONSchema support!

Features

It's at a very early stage, but usable.

json4

• ✅ lints: validates json against schema
• ✅ hints: provides code completion (no complex types yet)
• ✅ infos: provides hover tooltip

json5

• ✅ lints: validates json against schema
• ✅ infos: provides hover tooltip

Usage

To give you as much flexibility as possible, everything codemirror related is a peer or optional dependency

Based on whether you want to support json4, json5 or both, you will need to install the relevant language mode for our library to use.

json4

with auto-install-peers true or similar:

npm install --save @codemirror/lang-json codemirror-json-schema

without auto-install-peers true:

npm install --save @codemirror/lang-json codemirror-json-schema @codemirror/language @codemirror/lint @codemirror/view @codemirror/state @lezer/common

Minimal Usage

import { EditorState } from "@codemirror/state";
import { linter } from "@codemirror/lint";
import { json, jsonParseLinter } from "@codemirror/lang-json";
import { jsonSchemaLinter, jsonSchemaHover } from "codemirror-json-schema";

const schema = {
  type: "object",
  properties: {
    example: {
      type: "boolean",
    },
  },
};

const state = EditorState.create({
  doc: `{ "example": true }`,
  extensions: [
    json(),
    linter(jsonParseLinter()),
    linter(jsonSchemaLinter(schema)),
    jsonLanguage.data.of({
      autocomplete: jsonCompletion(schema),
    }),
    hoverTooltip(jsonSchemaHover(schema)),
  ];
})

json5

with auto-install-peers true or similar:

npm install --save codemirror-json5 codemirror-json-schema

without auto-install-peers true:

npm install --save codemirror-json5 codemirror-json-schema @codemirror/language @codemirror/lint @codemirror/view @codemirror/state @lezer/common

Minimal Usage

import { EditorState } from "@codemirror/state";
import { linter } from "@codemirror/lint";
import { json5, json5ParseLinter } from "codemirror-json5";
import {
  json5SchemaLinter,
  json5SchemaHover,
} from "codemirror-json-schema/json5";

const schema = {
  type: "object",
  properties: {
    example: {
      type: "boolean",
    },
  },
};

const json5State = EditorState.create({
  doc: `{ example: true }`,
  extensions: [
    json5(),
    linter(json5ParseLinter()),
    linter(json5SchemaLinter(schema)),
    hoverTooltip(json5SchemaHover(schema)),
  ],
});

Current Constraints:

• only linting & hover is available for oneOf, anyOf, allOf and other schema combination methods
• it only works with one json schema instance at a time, and doesn't yet fetch remote schemas. schema service coming soon!
• currently only tested with standard schemas using json4 spec. results may vary
• doesn't provide insert text on completion yet
• currently you can override the rendering of a hover. we plan to add the same for validation errors and autocomplete

Inspiration

monaco-json and monaco-yaml both provide these features, and I want the nascent codemirror 6 to have them as well!

also, json5 is slowly growing in usage, and it needs full language support!

Our Goals

• working GeoJSON spec linter & completion
• working variables json mode for cm6-graphql, ala monaco-graphql
• json5 + json4 json schema features for all!
